A Walk Around Town During Fall

I'm totally crazy about these trees. So when a sign went up indicating this lot is going to become student housing (now signing leases for June 2016!) and the fence went up around the trees, I panicked a little bit. I swear to the deity of all that is good and true, I will cry if they cut these trees down to build a fucking soulless apartment building. I'll keep you posted.

I'm pretty much crazy about maple trees, but a maple tree IN FRONT OF A CHURCH is just too picturesque to ignore, despite the annoyance of all the students who kept walking by while giving me the side-eye.  I guess, even in this world of the selfie and constant surveillance, a woman with an actual camera should not be taking your photograph.

There's this park downtown and these trees just line the lakefront. It's lovely. I feel grateful to live in a place where the public spaces are so beautiful and well tended.

This was the closest I came to a cornfield. I promise you an autumnal cornfield soon.  I bet you're on the edge of your seat.

It turns out that I have no creativity because it turns out I took this same photo last year.
